Hildegard

I quite like this, although I really didn't at first. It sounds strong and feminine.

My favorite female name. At first when I saw it I thought it was too weird, too "brash" maybe. I grew to love it though. First off, I love the name Hilda/Hilde, and paired with "-gard" (sounds a lot like "guard", which improved my impression of it a lot), it sounds pretty and strong.

Pretty.

Interestingly, 87% of raters felt this name feminine, and people dislike Hildegarde but like this spelling.

Call me crazy, but I think Hildegard nicknamed Hilde is adorable.

I didn't like this name when I first heard it. It's unusual, but I think it manages to be both calm & strong. I don't get that impression at all, about 'blonde & buxom'. I see brown & grey.

Don't even try naming your kid this unless you know for absolute certain that she will grow up to be blonde and buxom.
